Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

AI is now changing the world. In the field of medicine, new AI diagnostic systems are also changing the conventional wisdom of medical practice. In particular, considerable progress has been made in the field of diagnostic imaging. However, the system from electronic medical record (EMR) data to AI diagnosis is still in its infancy. In this Special Issue, we call for contributions presenting the latest research on AI diagnostics in fields other than imaging: how to clean up unstructured EMR data and incorporate them into AI models such as deep learning, the networking of EMRs, coupling EMRs with big data from insurance databases, and other related topics.

Background: The Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) is a cornerstone in neurological assessment, providing critical insights into consciousness levels in patients with traumatic brain injuries and other neurological conditions. Despite its clinical importance, traditional methods for predicting GCS scores often fail to capture the complex, multi-dimensional nature of patient data. This study aims to address this gap by leveraging machine learning (ML) techniques to develop accurate, interpretable models for GCS prediction, enhancing decision making in critical care. Methods: A comprehensive dataset of 759 patients, encompassing 25 features spanning pre-, intra-, and post-operative stages, was used to develop predictive models. The dataset included key variables such as cognitive impairments, Hunt and Hess scores, and aneurysm dimensions. Six ML algorithms, including random forest (RF), XGBoost, and artificial neural networks (ANN), were trained and rigorously evaluated. Data preprocessing involved numerical encoding, standardization, and stratified splitting into training and validation subsets. Model performance was assessed using accuracy and receiver operating characteristic area under the curve (ROC AUC) metrics. Results: The RF model achieved the highest accuracy (86.4%) and mean ROC AUC (0.9592 ± 0.0386, standard deviation), highlighting its robustness and reliability in handling heterogeneous clinical datasets. XGBoost and SVM models also demonstrated strong performance (ROC AUC = 0.9502 and 0.9462, respectively). Key predictors identified included the Hunt and Hess score, aneurysm dimensions, and post-operative factors such as prolonged intubation. Ensemble methods outperformed simpler models, such as K-nearest neighbors (KNN), which struggled with high-dimensional data. Conclusions: This study demonstrates the transformative potential of ML in GCS prediction, offering accurate and interpretable tools that go beyond traditional methods. By integrating advanced algorithms with clinically relevant features, this work provides a dynamic, data-driven framework for critical care decision making. The findings lay the groundwork for future advancements, including multi-modal data integration and broader validation, positioning ML as a vital tool in personalized neurological care. Full article

Background: After its introduction in the ICD-10-CM in 2016, sarcopenia is a condition widely considered to be a medical disease with important consequences for the elderly. Considering its high prevalence in older adults and its detrimental effects on health, it is essential to identify its risk factors to inform targeted interventions. Methods: Taking data from wave 2 of the ELSA, using ML-based methods, this study investigates which factors are significantly associated with sarcopenia. The Minimum Redundancy Maximum Relevance algorithm has been used to allow for an optimal set of features that could predict the dependent variable. Such a feature is the input of a ML-based prediction model, trained and validated to predict the risk of developing or not developing a disease. Results: The presented methods are suitable to identify the risk of acquired sarcopenia. Age and other relevant features related with dementia and musculoskeletal conditions agree with previous knowledge about sarcopenia. The present classifier has an excellent performance since the “true positive rate” is 0.81 and the low “false positive rate” is 0.26. Conclusions: There is a high prevalence of sarcopenia in elderly people, with age and the presence of dementia and musculoskeletal conditions being strong predictors. The new proposed approach paves the path to test the prediction of the incidence of sarcopenia in older adults. Full article

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become one of the most transformative technologies of the 21st century. It is poised to reshape medicine, as almost every field of hospital treatment has seen an increase in AI’s presence. In this article, we focus on its impact in the field of anesthesia. We discuss its possible influence on difficult airway management, as it remains one of the most critical and potentially hazardous aspects of anesthesia, often leading to life-threatening complications. The accurate prediction of difficult airways can significantly improve patient safety. We covered the available literature on AI-based models for difficult airway prediction in comparison to traditional forms of airway assessment, as well as the predictive value of ultrasonography. We also address the narrative that AI-based algorithms show high sensitivity and specificity, with which they significantly outperform classical tests based on complex scales and indices.
